Summary: The study found significant differences in injury profiles and required treatments between females and males presenting to emergency departments with Australian Football injuries. Females were more likely to suffer hand/finger and neck injuries, while males were more prone to shoulder and skin lacerations. Males were more likely to require hospital admission, while females needed more imaging investigations. Gender-specific injury prevention and management programs may be warranted based on these findings.

Summary: A two-season prospective injury surveillance study in the Women's National League in Ireland revealed a significantly higher injury incidence rate in matches compared to training, with the majority of injuries being lower extremity injuries, many of which were non-contact injuries. Recommendations were made for clubs to implement injury risk mitigation strategies, focusing on injuries with a high injury burden.

Summary: The study revealed that past-season groin pain increases the risk of a groin problem in the new season, while an increase in pre-season long-lever adductor squeeze strength can reduce this risk.

Summary: A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to examine the time-loss and recurrence rate of lateral ankle sprains (LAS) in male professional football players. The results showed a recurrence rate of 17.11% and an average time-loss of 15 days. LAS has higher recurrence rates than ACL injuries in professional football players. However, the heterogeneity of the data suggests the need for more comparable studies.

Summary: Comparative studies on device-assisted therapies for Parkinson's disease help customize treatment. This study observed the effects of subcutaneous apomorphine infusion, levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel, and subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation on quality of life, motor, and non-motor outcomes. Different treatment groups showed significant differences in baseline characteristics and treatment effects.

Summary: This study describes the epidemiology of ankle injuries in the NFL and investigates the effects of these injuries on performance metrics in the years following the injury. The study found that ankle injuries hamper the performance of NFL players, even multiple years after the injury occurred.

Summary: The study demonstrates that the diagnostic accuracy of three-dimensional ultrasonography in the morphological evaluation of rotator cuff tears is higher than that of magnetic resonance imaging, especially for different types of tears. The two radiologists showed high accuracy in evaluating 3D-US images, with a short time required for reconstructing images and evaluating tear patterns.

Summary: Physeal injuries in a youth elite football academy accounted for a quarter of all-time loss, with the highest injury burden in the U-16 age group. Most physeal injuries involved the lower limb and affected the apophysis. Incidence, burden, and pattern of physeal and apophyseal injuries varied substantially depending on age, with hip-pelvic apophyseal injuries causing the largest injury burden.

Summary: This study investigates the multifactorial contribution of risk factors to prospective running-related injuries. The findings suggest that previous injury, marathon training, footwear, and running kinematics are associated with a higher risk of injury. These modifiable risk factors can inform injury prevention strategies.

Summary: This pilot study aimed to analyze the association between a multifactorial hamstring screening protocol and the occurrence of hamstring muscle injuries (HMI) in professional football players. The study found that no single screening test was sufficient to identify players at risk of HMI for the entire season, but low F0 was associated with increased risk of HMI when occurring closer to the moment of screening. These results suggest the potential relevance of frequent F0 testing for HMI risk reduction management.

Summary: The study examined head impact biomechanics in youth flag football, finding that impact rates were relatively low while linear and rotational acceleration magnitudes were relatively high, emphasizing the importance of multiple seasons of data for accurate estimates.

Summary: The study found that older age groups had higher overall injury incidence, while the U16 age group experienced the greatest injury burden. In the older age groups, muscle injuries had higher incidence and burden, while physeal injuries had lower rates. Joint sprains and bone stress injuries were most common in the U16, U17, and U18 age groups, with U16 players experiencing the largest burden.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the incidence and characteristics of COVID-19 infection among footballers. The results showed that professional football players had a twofold increased risk of COVID-19 infection compared to staff members. It also highlighted the importance of weekly diagnostic testing in breaking the transmission chain, especially among asymptomatic football players and staff members.

Summary: This prospective cohort study aimed to describe the epidemiology of back injury in elite male Gaelic football athletes between 2008 and 2016. The study found that the incidence of back injuries in match play was 1.72 per 1000 hours of exposure, while in training it was 0.2 per 1000 hours. Most back injuries were new and occurred during non-contact player activities. The rate of back injuries in Gaelic football was similar to soccer and Australian football, but lower than rugby union.

Summary: The study found that in vitro, a fixed-bearing CCK-TKA knee provided more rotational constraint than the native knee. Both soft tissues and the semi-constrained implant were involved in restricting rotational knee laxity.
